If I recall, a big controversy in 2008 was Obama's assertion that he would engage in military actions against Al Qaeda inside Pakistani borders WITHOUT Pakistani consent. If I further recall this policy was hugely criticized at the time by many leaders on the right as this would offend 'our key ally in the War on Terror'. As events panned out, Obama was elected POTUS and it was this very policy that led to the intelligence required to locate Al Qaeda Chief Osama Bin Laden which led to his ultimate demise all without the foreknowledge of the Pakistani government who it turns out were the ones hiding him near their equivalent of West Point. Now all of sudden leaders on the right are saying President Obama deserves NO credit for taking out the leader of the terrorist organization that committed the worst case of mass murder on American soil because ANY PRESIDENT would have done the same thing. Ah hem...do we have an honestly problem, memory lapse or am I not seeing something correctly? Help Smeagol understand...THE PRECOCIOUS!
